Birdie by Squire

Squire is pushing all the right buttons just now, as Mobilee welcomes him back with ‘Birdie’.

This new two-tracker, coming swiftly after his Einmusika hit ‘The Hidden’, stays true to his signature melodic yet beat-driven vibe, lockdown having ironically released a flow of exciting new work as well as live streams from the Barcelona DJ/producer who is constantly evolving.

‘Birdie’: a pounding, relentlessly building chord riff with lots of percussion gets your body moving and your mind waiting for more, which arrives in style in the form of a lyrical male vocal swooping from melody to reverb-heavy portentous depths in several breakdowns, along with twanging strings and trilling organ notes. An almost mythical heft to the title track keeps you hooked throughout.

‘Hundred Falls’ foregrounds a strong bass riff and beat, as a subtle synth melody plays through them. The male vocal interludes on this track are assertive, sometimes almost harsh, and knowing, yearning; melancholy with an edge. A wall of intriguing sound with a single sustained breakdown ramping up the urgency.

Tastemakers rate Squire’s tracks and so do listeners, this EP will only establish him further, added to which he launches his own label ‘Ànims’ very soon. Watch this space…

Squire is one of the most interesting upcoming Spanish and international talents on the scene. Born with a Jazz soul he has soon delivered a unique sound that merges techno and house with an incredible variety of influences. The key to his success has been focus, respect for music tradition and an eye open to the future of electronic music.
